Mexico Beat South Africa 2-0 to Launch FIFA World Cup 2026 in Style
Co-hosts Mexico made a dream start to the FIFA World Cup 2026, defeating South Africa 2-0 in the opening match at Estadio Azteca.
Julian Quinones created history by scoring the tournament’s first goal, giving Mexico a deserved first-half lead. South Africa’s hopes suffered a major setback when Yaya Sithole received a straight red card early in the second half. Veteran striker Raul Jimenez then doubled Mexico’s advantage with a composed finish.
